hey

i am trying to figure out what RAM this motherboard is capable of running.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=3109430&sku=P459-1232

it says "The P29G5 provides 2 DIMM sockets using Single Channel 240-pin DDR2 with a total capacity of up to 4GB. You can install DDR2 533MHz Memory. " but what RAM can it take? PC3200? PC6400? im confused

Hello again Thr0xx. DDR2 533 is PC4200. Also so it doesn't appear that the board supports dual channel mode for the ram.

it is coming with this barebone kit that i ordered. is pc4200 good enough for a average user who plays average games (world of warcraft) ?

The BB Kit meets the recommended sys spec (VGA card?) If you have a good video card you should be fine.

WOW
